Story New Zealand V Australia: Test and ODI series [C2005]

[Left_Hander]

Like the reason Channel 9 is taking over!

Australia are running all over the Kiwis here, I'd have to say.

I like what you've done with the spider graph. Am I right in thinking that the pitch is from Blic? Outfield and stumps look remarkably familiar, as well as different to the ones in your current match.

Anyway, good story mate, great read, hope your enjoying writing it as much as I am reading it.

Thanks mate

The outfield is just a default EA one while the stumps are Npower and made by Saurabh I think. And yes, it's fun to make

Ashu: mate Yeah, Satish's is a top patch, not too easy to hit fours with the outfield but If you have good timing you can pick up a few 4's and the occasional 6 here and there

LH: Atleast it's original. Thanks for your continued support

Thanks guys

Yeah I liked it. And yes I found it original! Great work!

Ashu don't be so demanding. As they say, good things take time.

END OF DAY TWO

Stats

Aus 1/302 (55)
Australia tail by runs 60
9 wickets in hand

A comprehensive victory for Australia on the second day. Justin Langer and Phil Jaques completely annihilated the Kiwis with the bat while Brett Lee was in magnificent form with the ball. Australia now has control of the game?

LANGER PASSES ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY

Justin Langer will now be eyeing his double hundred after scoring his 150. The gritty West Australian has cracked 4?s to all parts of the ground but has been especially good through the covers. Langer along with Jaques has given Australia a great position to be in. Australia is now only 40 runs away from the Kiwi total with only 1 wicket down?

J.Langer 157(180)*
R.Ponting 16(21)*
P.Jaques 140(157)
Aus: 1/322 (58)
Australia trail by 40 runs
9 wickets in hand

LANGER GONE AS AUSTRALIA TAKES THE LEAD

Justin Langer?s memorable innings has come to an end at the hands of Scott Styris. Langer was tricked by a slower ball from Styris and spooned a simple catch back to the bowler. Australia has now taken the lead and with Clarke, Hussey and Gilchrist still to come, the situation is getting desperate for the Kiwis?

[irottev]

I am enjoying this series.

Ouch looks like we are getting a thrashing here though.

I think we need to limit the changes. We miss Bond.

 

[Cricket_60]

Bond will be back for the ODI's

 

[Left_Hander]

Australia are batting like the best in the world . They are the best in the world.

Great work anyway, Cricket_60

PONTING REACHES HIS FTFTY

Australian captain Ricky Ponting has also joined the party as Australia continues to build their lead. Although the Aussies have slackened off and are now travelling at a less aggressive pace they are still as dangerous as ever. The Kiwis have done well to restrict the scoring rate after Langer?s departure but there is still a lot of work to be done?

R.Ponting 54(75)*
D.Martyn 8(20)*
J.Langer 189(204)
P.Jaques 140(157)
Aus: 2/399 (76)
Australia leads by 37 runs
8 wickets in hand

MILLS MAKES PROGRESS

The Kiwis have moved a step in the right direction by removing Ricky Ponting for 54. The Aussie captain got forward and tried to defend a good ball from Mills but was beaten and had his off stump castled. Australia would like to have a lead of around 150 but the Kiwis have a chance at restricting that?

M.Clarke 0(2)*
D.Martyn 12(26)*
R.Ponting 54(79)
J.Langer 189(204)
P.Jaques 140(157)
Aus: 3/404 (78)
Australia leads by 42 runs
7 wickets in hand

C.Martin 0/22 (5)
J.Franklin 0/90 (14)
S.Styris 1/159 (32)
D.Vettori 0/34 (6)
N.Astle 0/86 (19)
K.Mills 1/9 (2)

Gosh! Australia are putting the sword into the Kiwis here. If they get 150 lead they will be in an extremely commanding position.
